For Ungodly Concert Kitty

Just checked TicketBastard for the upcoming Van Halen show here in Atlanta. The only price listed (seats go on sale Friday) is $90.

$90.

I mean, I still love to hear Eddie play and all, but yougottabefreakinkiddinme.

The first couple of real concerts I went to in the mid-80’s, tickets were about $12. Caught Van Halen on the Montsters Of Rock mega-tour in ’88, with Metallica, the Scorpions, and a couple of forgettable hair bands, and that was about $30–for an all-day show with five acts. Yes, I know that was 16 years ago, but…

$90?!? For one ticket? Without happy ending?

Not that I go to shows much anymore…but one of the nice things about growing up as a punk rocker is that I’ve rarely paid more than ten dollars to see a band play. I’ve seen some absolutely amazing live bands for only ten dollars (Nomeansno, the Supersuckers, Motorhead, Foetus, the Murder City Devils, etc). Of course, I’ve also seen some bands who were the ass end of awful. The only people I’d be willing to pay more than 10-15 dollars to see are Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits or the Sisters of Mercy. Not many other bands are worth that much….
